In Case You Are Interested…

There is a site called the “Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project” that has links to the Holy Week Liturgies in the Extraordinary Form as they are formulatedpre-1955, and post-1955. Comparing the two is an enlightening experience, and shows that the liturgical destruction did not begin in 1965, and that the architect of liturgical destruction began the job much earlier.

In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.

Of course you know that the picture you are using to illustrate this article, is actually from the Episcopal Church of St. Clement in Philidelphia? Sad to say it looks more Catholic than Catholic, but this of, course was a vernacular Eucharist!
